Look up how the carbon footprint came to be. It's such a silly metric, like how many billiard balls your toilet can flush. It's not based on anything scientific, it's just a made-up number that carries no real world significance.

And there's zero proof that storms have gotten more severe ever. Damage caused by storms has gotten more expensive, simply because of inflation and more things being built where storms can damage them, but the storms themselves are no worse than they've ever been.

I hate articles like this so much.

Global warming is beneficial. Longer growing seasons, for one. There are more deaths from cold than heat. This will help.

Will it finally be honest?

That PC has already been converted to Linux.

Despite being a Linux fan and desktop/handheld user, there are a handful of apps I happen to spend a lot of time in that are significantly more stable and polished on iOS than Android. That consistency has a lot of value to me, and that's why I bought Apple - or at least why I bought Apple this time. I'm running a 3rd-gen iPad Air, which is definitely showing its age now, and an iPhone 15 Pro Max.

I sure hope so!

Buy the dip.

The main roads to this area are already insufficient, so traffic is a problem. The data center was only going to have a staff of 30. It could be an Amazon warehouse or meat processing plant or something where hundreds of additional vehicles swarm the roads. I don't have a clear idea yet of what the alternate bad development will be.

I'm waiting to see if my theory is correct. Last year there was a local referendum for allowing a data center in a rural area of Chesapeake, VA. Some of my friends who live nearby voted against it because they like living around farmland and trees. I do too, but I don't believe that will be the case long. I suspect that this country corner is going to be developed no matter what, and not putting a data center there will instead allow zoning to put something even more obnoxious there.

This was not a free market, this was literally a monopoly.

If only they had Microsoft...Copilot.

Outlook breaks in ideal climate-controlled conditions with high-speed hard-line internet, handled by well-staffed IT departments, and provided to competent users. Any time I think I'm having a quiet day at work, it's really because the Outlook app on my phone has stopped refreshing and doesn't start working again until I restart the phone. Why would anyone consider trying it in space?

If the post office disappeared today, nothing of value would be lost. UPS, FedEx, Amazon, Door Dash, etc. There are now any number of options for delivery of things to our homes. We don't need the post office now, and that's been the case for at least a decade.
